Become an expert diver while earning the coveted Master
Like most divers, you've probably thought of the lifestyle of the dive
instructors you've known -- great diving, traveling, meeting new people,
and, best of all, working in a job they love. The reality is that diving
also offers a serious career opportunity.

As a blossoming, dynamic recreation, diving supports a
growing industry, and opportunities for trained professionals abound --
from instructor/sales positions with retail dive centers to divemaster/instructor
roles in the world's most exotic dive destinations. No matter what dive
industry career you choose, the PADI Instructor credential is your best
ticket to success. The overwhelming majority of dive operations throughout
the world teach PADI courses, so it's only natural that PADI Instructors
enjoy the most demand. As a professional dive educator, you'll want the
highest level of training and support, and the widest array of educational
materials -- these only PADI can provide.

PADI Divemaster

To begin reaching for a career in diving, either full
or part-time, attaining the PADI Divemaster rating is your first step
along the professional pathway. After you have become a certified Advanced
Open Water Diver and Rescue Diver, you've reached a skill level that makes
PADI Divemaster training available.

Working closely with a PADI Instructor, you'll expand
your diving theory and knowledge to the professional level. Then, in an
especially fulfilling aspect of the course, you'll learn PADI's carefully
designed techniques for supervising diving activities and assisting divers
with training.

The first step on the professional career path.

If your love of diving interests you in making it a career,
the PADI Divemaster course gets you started. Designed to develop your
leadership abilities and expand your diving knowledge to a professional
level.

Whether or not you're on a career path, the Divemaster
course can expand your capabilities and make you a better diver. The PADI
Divemaster Manual covers the Role of the Divemaster, Dive Planning, Dive
Management and Control, and the procedures you'll use when supervising
divers in a variety of activities and environments.

The Divemaster Slates cue you with important guidelines
for effective supervision. After training, you'll complete the Divemaster
